Welcome to our website. Highlighted within our home page you will find resources for parents, educators, students and the community-at-large. Orange County has incredible opportunities and resources --- our schools are the most precious of these. We provide services for the districts in a variety of areas, including Special Education, Alternative and Correctional Education, Teacher Credentialing, Accounting, Business and Information Technology, and Outdoor Science Schools. These are just some of the ways in which the Orange County Department of Education is making a difference for Orange County schools.

Our goal is to continue to ensure a world class education for every student, while making certain that 87% of our budget goes to direct student services.

A new edition for parents in our Featured Links section is the School Finder web site, created by Governor Schwarzenegger’s office, where parents can find and compare schools in their area on data such as graduation rates and Academic Performance Index (API) scores and view information about student support services.

We hope you will take time to browse through our web pages. They will lead you through the work of our department, as well as to the local school districts and schools. We are proud of the support we provide, and I welcome your comments, suggestions and questions.
